i think tide in bag is pretty esential when out at night.it isnt so bad setting a running kill net in the day cause you can see where the bag needs to be.but at night when taking op your sets you gotta becarefull that the bag dont run to one end. once all your bag is tied in its better to pick up you dont have to worry about the bag going anywhere.tiersal i know a few folk who tie there bag at 36 meshes t 6ft.i have 2 fifty yarders with the bag tied in at this calculation seems to work for me.i see you make your own nets tiercal.would you be interested in making me a couple of 50 yard hemp nets?

roost you whant to try it at night most you gotta put your homework in. but it can be very rewarding at the end of it. ive got some photos on my digicam after a couple of hours netting.can anybody tell me how to forward them on to this site.im afraid when i was supposed to be at school in IT classes i was out catching dirty vermin.

old rooster.do you find when you set your nylon nets pegging after they will become tangled with the smallest bit of rubbish.especially if your doing a end set and the wind has blown all your bag to where youve tied it to the head line usuallyall the bag is bunched up and in the middle of it you will find the smallest twig in the world. this is one of the advatages hemp has over nylon. it tends not to pick up ****.also when doing end sets i always tale the end of the nets out into the field10 yards you will be amazed how many rabbits have not become entangled because the wind has bunched all the bag up. and the rabbits run down the length of the net into the taled ends.hope you have agood day ferreting with the longnets.
